The si unit of force is newton.
so, F is eqal to m*g
Answer:
h = height of the hotel room from the ground floor = 237.4m
Explanation:
Change in Potential Energy of tourist = ΔPE = PE2 – PE1 = mgh
PE1 is the potential energy of tourist at the ground floor
PE1 is the potential energy of tourist at the top (hotel room)
Given
PE1 = − 2.01 × 10⁵ J
PE2 = 0J
PE2 – PE1 = mgh
0 – (− 2.01 × 10⁵ J) = mgh
2.01 × 10⁵ J = 86.4×9.8×h
h = 2.01 × 10⁵/(86.4×9.8) = 237.4m
The cart experiences a frictional force which is directly proportional to its weight. This means that there must be a force applied on the car to balance the forces on the car to produce a net force of 0.
This is in accordance to Newton's first law which states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless an external force acts on it. The force must be a resultant force.
Therefore, the force needed increases with the total weight of the cart as well as with the added mass in a linear manner.
It means the speed of the object is increasing
and
there is a positive acceleration in the direction of the velocity
hence
there is a force acting on the object, in the direction of the velocity
